I’m building some shaker-style cabinets for a home bar. I have an appliance that I’d like to cover, but due to clearance issues, Standard cabinet doors won’t work.
So I’m thinking of making a panel that looks like two cabinet doors and a single wide drawer above (perhaps two drawers, if that works better?): but I’m unsure how to go about it. I don’t want to make it too heavy, and there isn’t enough clearance behind the panel due to the appliance protruding (so I can’t simply mount a couple of doors and drawer face to a piece of plywood greater than 1/4”.
I’m wondering if building the frame as a single unit and then routing in a “gap” to simulate different panels would work? Such as the dotted lines shown in my crummy sketch?

Or is there a better method I’m missing?
